  Taco Bell advertisement reflects poorly on Mexican-Americans, speaker says - October 20, 1998   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Jose Limon, a University of Texas at Austin English and anthropology professor who spoke in the Education building's Kiva Auditorium, said there is a lot more to Taco Bell's Chihuahua than one might think.
Limon said "Dinky the Chihuahua" reinforces negative stereotypes about Mexican Americans and represents their upward mobility and economic integration into the U.S. The speech, entitled "Cultural Studies: The Political Peril and Promise of the Popular Culture; Or Yo Quiero Taco Bell?," drew about 50 people.
Limon agreed with Perches, but he said the negative images must be balanced against the benefit of inserting "this little piece of language" into popular culture.
